Help

I have bought a Mk1 Myford Super 7 lathe and doing a full restoration on it however there is an oil reservoir built into the Headstock. Underneath is a plastic see through lens and a white plastic cup both are broken and needing replacement however there is a brass tube running through connecting both the oil Reservoir and plastic cup which will need to be removed its rock solid so I imagine will need to be drilled out and replaced from the early research that I am doing it would seem a tad difficult to obtain as in no chance

Can someone help me please any help and advice would be much appreciated

Thank you for reading

Drilling it out, if necessary is obviously a job while the spindle is separated (or at least the top bearing housing removed) from the headstock.

However, you have a lathe, so that part can easily be made, in the lathe, after the restoration is mostly complete, if necessary?
